Tightening a barrel

Olle · 06-15-2013, 10:38 PM

Ok, now I'm getting confused.... So if I can hand tighten it until I'm 1/8 turn from 12 o'clock I'll be alright, and I can do the rest with the wrench? Or how does the 1/8" come into play? It's Saturday evening and I have had a few glasses of wine, so please explain in simple terms.

Hi to all, Rich has certainly been there and done that...

with excellent success I might add... He knows that last 1/4" inch can seem like a mile when you can't hold things tight enough!! ...

... I'm still learning, and it's great to have other forum members to bounce ideas and thoughts off of!.....

... best to all, til...lat'r...GT
